Stories of my photos.

Dream and Reality...

Saturday, June 13, 2009 12:48:16 AM

All my friends know that photography is my favourite way to spend some time.
As I am starting to learn and I am at the very beginning of this adventure that is photography, sometime ago I decided to save some money and buy an inexpensive digital gear, keeping my old lenses from my analog gear.

The day I become a good photographer I will buy a proper camera, with one or two decent lenses.

But I keep wondering what would be like to shoot with this. confused


This costs as much as my car... bigeyes
It is also a lot faster then my car!!! lol So it is a dream. Maybe one day... love


And although I'm perfectly aware that the camera doesn't make the photographer, I keep wondering... and I felt I had to do something. furious

There! It is done! I shot my own camera and now I don't feel so bad... They are almost similar, don't you think? wink


This is my reality. I'm happy with it. happy And I'm also learning a lot with it. yes

For now, this will do. Maybe one day... bigsmile


I'll be seeing you!

Orlando, you are sure not alone with your dreams and reality lol lol To tell the truth I've become a Canon fan, and my dream is some Canon DSLR... maybe D500 or even Mark II or III... whistle

A dream.... yes, a dream.... rolleyes

Hi Orlando,

great idea! And a big dream you have! bigsmile
I´d like to copy this idea and tell you about my dreams and cam in my blog! If you don´t mind!
Actually I am very happy with my Pentax K-m! happy

Orlandoojsnascimento Sunday, June 14, 2009 10:18:27 PM

@ Anna - I knew I was not alone in dreaming... bigsmile And I wouldn't mind a Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III, either... happy

@ Zeffie - One day, Zeffie, one day... wink We all will be top photographers... whistle

@ Leffe - You're so right, my friend. We need to dream! What would be your drem camera, Leffe bigsmile

@ Swen - Thanks, my friend, and I would be happy if you do so! And I wouldn't mind a Pentax K20D, either... happy

Well I had a major camera-crach the other week. I had to say good bye forever to my old camera. In the shop I found out I had very great big dreams bigsmile bigsmile bigsmile. I ended up with a small nice realistic for the moment dream Canon. I am looking very much at Nikon and Sony. Some day the dream will come true. smile smile smile

Annaannoushkiss Monday, June 15, 2009 5:42:08 AM

I know for sure that I cannot afford a new cam for about a year. And in a year it won't be Mark III either lol lol
But you're perfectly right, it's not a camera that makes a photographer wink so... my old fellow A620 is going to be a very close friend of mine lol lol I'm not too good for a new cam yet. But I don't mind a good 400-500 mm lens at all... whistle To shoot birds as Words
does is MY dream smile smile smile

Hi Orlando, hi friends smile

My knowledge of photography is very rudimentary. So, I have a question! They say professional photographers use analog cameras. Is that right? And could you please explain the reason?

Thank you smile

derspecht Thursday, June 18, 2009 5:10:21 AM

Well, i would say that is not right. There are a lot profs using digital cams.
In sports you see mostly photographers with digital cams.
The top cams from Canon and Nikon are pure professional. Even Olympus and Pentax are building cams for professionals.
The modern digicams are much faster, the photograph is able the send the pic immediately to the magazin.
Maybe in special areas, like studio or b&w, they uses mostly analog cams. But I think it is just a question of time and they all wil use digital cams.

Samael Tiamateyemreli Thursday, June 18, 2009 5:38:38 AM

Hmm, I seeeeee smile Still I know a few professionals who believe analog cameras are the best. Maybe they fit into their work.

Orlandoojsnascimento Thursday, June 18, 2009 11:17:17 AM

Elias , I agree with Swen. Except for specialized work, most of professional photography is already taken with digital cameras. The quality of a 10 or 12 mb camera is absolutely astonishing, nowadays. And top pro cams have around 24 or 25 mb, are full format 35mm cameras. Medium format cameras, like Hasselblad, have already digital backs, so studio work is done in digital.

Samael Tiamateyemreli Thursday, June 18, 2009 1:45:21 PM

Thanks a lot for the information friends smile

Pablopbuydid Friday, June 26, 2009 3:19:46 PM

Hi Orlando!
You take excellent photos! What would you do with the first camera!?!? rolleyes

But, as you say, both cameras look similar, yes. Mine is so so so simple, but I'm learning too to enjoy photography, the amateur way bigsmile

Greetings!!

Orlandoojsnascimento Wednesday, July 1, 2009 11:39:10 PM

Hi, Pablo!
Thank you for your support, my friend! happy
What would I do with a Nikon D3X ? Well, no better shots, for sure, since it wouldn't improve my technique... smile But it surely would be a motivation... bigsmile
I shoot a lot with a little camera too; I use my D60 mostly on weekends and holidays.
And I learn too the amateur way yes , the D60 is a simple beginners DSLR!!! bigsmile

Pablopbuydid Thursday, July 2, 2009 2:16:25 AM

I have an uncle with a Nikon, but I can't remember the model. I have used it sometimes, and it has great features.

I must tell I always thought you are more than an amateur, there are many pics in 365 with a high quality, sincerily!

Anyway, I'll respect your modesty p

It's true that good instruments are good for motivation. If I had one, ... mmmm, well, I'll take with me with a face of "Hey, look at this great photographer"... lol

Annaannoushkiss Thursday, July 2, 2009 4:16:36 AM

lol You read in my head, Pablo!

Pablopbuydid Thursday, July 2, 2009 4:34:13 AM

lol
Maybe we have more than Internet conection lol

I was looking for a word to the last phrase: Is it right swashbuckling, in english? In Uruguay we call that people "pillado", "agrandado". My wife says I'm so "pillado" sometimes.

With that camera I would!!

You think Orlando is more than amateur photographer too?

Annaannoushkiss Thursday, July 2, 2009 7:02:01 AM

For me ABSOLUTELY!!! He's a kind of my Guru in photography, since I was very much inspired by his photos when I was just beginning my 365 album smile And besides he's the person that explained the meaning of the word "exposure" to me wink So I certainly feel a lot about Orlando's works bigsmile yes

derspecht Thursday, July 2, 2009 8:11:02 AM

smile you are right anna! I was amazed by his album, when I first saw the pics of 365. Of course there are a lot very good pics in the other albums, too. But it so sad
(or should I say irritating irked irked ) that he doesn´t upload to 365 in the last TWO MONTH!!

Annaannoushkiss Thursday, July 2, 2009 10:23:09 AM

The rules say that the album should be deleted in such case... whistle

Orlandoojsnascimento Thursday, July 2, 2009 6:38:22 PM

bigeyes yikes scared cry cry cry cry cry

derspecht Thursday, July 2, 2009 6:53:58 PM

Annaannoushkiss Thursday, July 2, 2009 8:22:01 PM

Ok, ok... Let it be alive! wizard
lol lol

Seriously, I'm sure there's no such a hand that would dare to press delete Orlando's album even if he'll be missed for 3 months... It's just impossible!

Pablopbuydid Thursday, July 2, 2009 9:57:52 PM

I'm agree. We need people like him, even to sontemplate "old" pics p

Eva MrLeffe Thursday, July 2, 2009 10:06:24 PM

I do agree with Pablo and Anna bigsmile bigsmile bigsmile
Swen that simley is very red lol lol lol

Pablopbuydid Friday, July 3, 2009 2:41:45 AM

Orlando: you have a crowd of fans p !!

derspecht Friday, July 3, 2009 7:55:48 AM


No panic! bigsmile
Nobody would blast Orlando´s album into oblivion! p
There are to many great pics! But I wanted to wake him up and show the "sleeping beauty", that 365 needs his pics! bigsmile bigsmile bigsmile bigsmile

Annaannoushkiss Friday, July 3, 2009 8:15:34 AM

Pablo yes

Swen lol I like the term "sleeping beauty" bigsmile bigsmile

Orlandoojsnascimento Friday, July 3, 2009 5:11:50 PM

You guys make me ...

Orlandoojsnascimento Friday, July 3, 2009 5:15:32 PM

... and just let me you!

Orlandoojsnascimento Friday, July 3, 2009 5:39:27 PM

And that makes the decision I took even harder...
I have decided to suspend the activity in my 365 album, for now. cry
For me it is a very tough decision to take, but I just can't find the time to shoot daily with a minimum of quality. I have more than 4000 pics taken since April, and I still have to sort them, choose them and most of them are just rubbish!
I have too many things on my hands right now, and I just can't keep up with the 365 daily upload. I will try another album as soon as possible.
What I need is a 52 Group, instead of a 365...

derspecht Friday, July 3, 2009 5:47:29 PM

awww awww cry cry

Your album should never be deleted!!
why just upload once a week like other members of 365 do?smile

Orlandoojsnascimento Friday, July 3, 2009 6:01:26 PM

My problem is not with the uploading, it's with the shooting. I have to think on what I'm shooting, and that takes time. A lot!
Or my pics will be below average, and that just won't do!

Orlandoojsnascimento Friday, July 3, 2009 6:16:57 PM

... but before I suspend my album, I still have to upload the crappy shots I took and update the album. Darn!

Annaannoushkiss Friday, July 3, 2009 6:20:56 PM

zip

Pablopbuydid Saturday, July 4, 2009 12:17:09 AM

awww awww awww
Don't leave us...

Orlandoojsnascimento Sunday, July 5, 2009 2:19:56 PM

You guys are really good friends!!! yes
Well, April is uploaded. Let us see how May will turn out... whistle

Pablopbuydid Sunday, July 5, 2009 4:00:33 PM

yes
You are a nice guy! That's seen even from far away, my friend!
